IMPROVBMENJ. IN INDINGGUIDE IOR'SBWINMAGHINE3.

The Schedule refenefi to in these Letters Patent and maklng part of theame.

To aZl whom it may concert:

Be it known "chat I, E. F. ANGELL, of Chicago, in the county of 000k,and State of Illinois, have invented au Improved Bin'der for Sewing-Machins; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear,and exact description thereof, which will enable those skill ed in theart to make and use the same, reference being had to the aocompanyingdrawings, and letters marked thereon, making a part of tbisspcification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective representation of 1n }iitn proved binder.

Figures 2 and 3, representations of the adjustable bars whioh supportthe bindingguides;

Figure 4, a broken view of the under side of tlle binden The nature ofthe present invention oonsists in the novel construction and arrangementof the bars which support the oloth-guides, they being so arranged as tobe adjsted separately'or-independently, by means of two nuts, turned onone screw-bolt, in combination with a guide-plate, which holds thelooped euds of the binder in position, and which, together With thebedpla, forms a recess for the lower guide-bar t0 slde in, as the wholeis hereinafter fully descrbed. 1

A represehts the top plate, and B, thehedplate of an ordinarysewingmachine biuder, tanninating in loops 0 0, for holding thebindingto the oloth, ,when it-s ben'g sewed on, in the usual manner, and-D'-D represent the ordinary guides for gauging the Width with which thebinding is to be* laid on the cloth.

'These parts so far described are we]lknown devices, but they areenumerated more olearly to show the peculiar construction andarrangement of my improve ment. The bars E G, which support the guides DD, are held in position by a single sorew-bolt, H, having a nut, S,placed thereon, between the plates A B and a nut, R, on its upper end,and on the top of plate A.

This arrangement is such that either of the binding-guides, or both ofthem, oan be set to or from the plate I J, fig; 1-. The plates A B beingprovided with slots through them, .allows the bars E G to movelongitudinafly.

- The partof the plate I J, shown al: J, projects up-/ ward, and fitsinto-a notch in the edge of plate A, near the 100p C, and that partSl1own at' -I, faStens to the inside of plate B, and forums a seat forthe bar G, as showu at fig. 4, the plate B being. so reeessed out thatits lower surface and; the lower surface et bar G are even.

This arrangement is importat,as the plate B can be set closely' to theclotlx-plateot a swing-machine, without interfering with the movement ofthe bar G.

l he bar E i s providedjth two holes, b, by means of which the upperbinding-guide D can be adjuSted a greater or less distance from theguide'J than the lower guide D, for lapping binding furthen on to oneside .of the cloth than the other.

J.o make this latter adjustrnent, it is only required that the nut R be'removed, after which the bar E can be lifted Ol from the screw-bolt H,and moved to the other fiole, b.

The cloth to be bound is put between the loops 0, and the binding to besewed threon put between the loops 0 0 and plates A B, the nut Sholdingthe bars E G in place, and thenut R holding the loops 0 0 therequired distance apart.

Those parts of the binder shown at M L"K, are

jsimply the meansused to guide the cloth aftr it leaves the loops orjaws0, but as their' construction and use are well understod,noparticulr description is required. 4 c

Having chus described my invention,

Wliat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The bar G, recesed in plate B, the bar E, the plate I J, fastened to hebed-plate, projecting upward, and serving as a gui e for the plate A,the plates AB, and the srew-bolt H, and nuts R S, for operatng thebindingguides D D, and loops 0 C, when: al] are constructed and arrangedas described.
